Police
Headquarters

Beaumont’s current police headquarters, built in 1974, is outdated, undersized, and prone to flooding. Proposition B funds a new, modern facility that brings critical units back under one roof, improves safety and accessibility, and provides space for future growth. This investment will enhance public safety for residents while supporting Beaumont’s role as the region’s leading law enforcement agency.

Fire
Station #4

Fire Station #4, built in 1954, is far beyond its service life and no longer meets the needs of modern firefighting or emergency response. The new station will feature updated bays for larger fire engines, modern living spaces that allow for female firefighters, and dedicated areas for training, gear, and wellness. This investment ensures faster response times, safer facilities, and reliable protection for Beaumont’s residents, businesses, and industries.

Public Safety and Technology Improvements

This $1 million project will install security cameras downtown that connect to Beaumont’s Real-Time Crime Center. The cameras will help deter crime, protect businesses and public spaces, and support a safer, more welcoming environment for residents and visitors.

Facilities assesment and improvements

This $10 million project begins with a citywide facilities assessment — a professional review of City-owned buildings that looks at their condition, safety, accessibility, and ability to serve the community. The assessment will identify where updates are most needed, such as repairs, code compliance, or modern upgrades. Following this evaluation, the City will invest in renovations to priority facilities across Beaumont, ensuring they remain safe, efficient, and welcoming spaces for residents and staff.

Animal Care and adoption center

Beaumont’s current animal shelter is outdated, overcrowded, and not designed to meet today’s standards for animal care or adoption services. A new Animal Care and Adoption Center will provide more space for pets, better disease control, and areas for training, education, and community engagement. The modern facility will help increase adoptions, improve animal health and safety, and give staff the resources they need to serve both pets and the public.

Multipurpose Center at Alice Keith Park

This $11.2 million project will bring a new multipurpose facility to Alice Keith Park on Beaumont’s south end. Similar to the Sterling Pruitt Center but with added classrooms and activity spaces, the center will combine recreation with programs that aim to build essential life skills for youth. By offering both sports and educational opportunities, the facility’s goal will be to help keep young people engaged, support partnerships with schools and local organizations, and open doors for future economic development.

Multipurpose sports and community facility

This state-of-the-art facility will serve as a year-round anchor for downtown tourism and economic activity. Designed with a flexible, multi-court layout, it can host a wide variety of events — from basketball, volleyball, pickleball, and esports to gymnastics, cheer, martial arts, dance competitions, youth leagues, and the Special Olympics. The center will provide space for both major competitions and everyday community recreation.
